After enjoying a weekend breakfast, you may want an indoor space where you can have some fun. For classic car buffs, the Ural Ataman Classic Car Museum in the coastal neighborhood of Tarabya in Istanbul is a good choice.

The museum, which features a 2,000-square-meter exhibition area features more than 60 vehicles including motorcycles and trucks dating back mostly to the 1950s and 1960s. Opened in 2012, the museum has a lively atmosphere full of nostalgia. Aside from classic cars, visitors can see hundreds of various industrial and automotive paraphernalia, such as fuel pumps, jukeboxes and wheel covers.

Situated within a glass building, the museum is lit by neon panels that set the mood of the era. The cars on display are divided into different sections. In the first section, American cars are on display accompanied by a restaurant designed to be reminiscent of the 1950s. The upper floor houses European Cars, while other spaces in the museum host a library on automobiles, a piano and a miniature race track as well as other collectables.

Ural Ataman, the museum's founder, was influenced by the beauty of classic cars in his childhood. He used to travel in his father's 1946 Ford, which also had a big place in his childhood days. The museum is only open on Saturdays.

With a private collection ranging from an 1899 Decauville to a 1978 Porsche, the Mehmet Arsay Classic Car Museum is open on Saturday and Sunday. The concept of an automobile museum did not gain popularity until the 1990s. Arsay, a car collector, founded Turkey's first car museum in 1994.

Lying in Istanbul's İkitelli district, the museum displays nostalgic cars mostly brought from abroad. Among them, there is a staff car of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Turkish Republic, which was renovated with the consent of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM).

A workshop opened behind the museum is where all cars undergo thorough renovation and maintenance. Cengiz Arsay, a businessman, established the museum in memory of his father. He frequently uses his classic cars, and is happy to see people, especially youth, showing interest in cars.

Located in the neighborhood of Çengelköy, this museum offers a pleasant alternative for visitors who also happen to be enthusiasts of classic cars. The Sabri Artam Classic Automobile Museum, which houses one of the largest collections of antique automobiles in Turkey, is located near the top of Çengelköy, on the road that leads to the district of Ümraniye. The museum opened in 1998. It now preserves a collection of automobiles for future generations.

Each car comes with a unique history of its own. This museum is a perfect place for those who want to develop their understanding of the history and culture of automobiles. The museum itself has helped the further development of automobiles through its extensive collection, which it shares with its visitors. This collection gathers together a variety of different automobile motor and body designs, sporting vehicles, exploration vehicles and even automobiles designed as works of art- all under a single roof.

The Sabri Artam Automobile Museum was the first museum in Turkey to be recognized by FIVA (The International Federation of Historical Vehicles). Among its collection are a few completely preserved ‘first’ automobiles, whose value has increased as their number in the world has decreased. These unique vehicles reflect their countries of origin, exhibit the era’s technical specialization of their production, and even bear the historical traces of the events in which they participated. Now, they are all on display under a single roof in this museum.

The museum’s collection consists of automobiles gathered from all around the world over the course of nearly twenty years. These cars have been put on display after undergoing necessary repairs and renovations. Over a hundred automobiles are on display in the five floors of the museum. The ground floor features automobiles produced during the 1960s and later; the second floor houses cars from the 1950s; the third floor contains antique automobiles; and, the top floor includes a collection of model cars.

If you want to take a breather and grab a bite to eat during your journey through automotive history, the cafeteria is located on the third floor. The S.A.V. Automobile Museum, which exhibits the largest and most precious collection of automotive vehicles in all of Turkey, is open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
